Morecambe Bay’s health trust has failed to hit both the A&E four hour waiting time target, and the planned ops and care 18 week target , according to figures released by the BBC.

Currently, the trust is failing to meet the NHS’ four hour A&E waiting target - where a patient is treated or admitted within four hours. The target is 95 per cent, and the trust managed 89.4 per cent in September 2017.

It last hit the target in August 2015. For planned operations and care, the national target is for 92 per cent of patients to be dealt with within 18 weeks.

The trust managed 88.3 per cent in August 2017, against a national average of 89.4 per cent.

The trust performed at 85.9 per cent against a national average of 82.6 per cent.
